m WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable! Therefore:
• Only store petrol in containers designed to hold pe-
troleum-based liquids.
• Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke during
the refueling process.
• Always refuel the lawn mower before starting the
engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap is
closed when the engine is running and when the
mower is hot; also do not refuel.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not under any circumstanc-
es attempt to start the engine. Instead, remove the ma-
chine from the affected area. Avoid starting the engine
until the petrol fumes have completely evaporated.
• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank
closures must be replaced if they are damaged.
• Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always
use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from children.
• Replace defective mufflers.
• Before using the mower, visually inspect it to en-
sure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire
cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e.
not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-
ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and
mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).
• Please note that where a mower has more than one
blade, the rotation of one of the blades can cause
the others to rotate as well.
Handling
• Do not let the combustion engine run in enclosed
areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can
build up.
• Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far as
possible.
• Do not use the lawn mower in a thunderstorm - risk
of lightning strike!
• Always maintain good footing on inclines.
• Only operate the machine at a walking pace.
• For machines with wheels: Always mow across hills
i.e. never straight up or straight down.
